IEP Meeting Attendance
Meeting attendance (virtual or in-person) is determined on a case-by-case basis. I attend meetings when it is truly beneficial to the IEP team.
My first goal is always to help parents prepare themselves for a lifetime of advocacy but there are certainly times when my support at a meeting is needed.
